My latest obsession in my family tree research is seeing just how many descendants I can identify for this one couple, Abraham Cornell and His wife Mary Brady (also known as Polly Brady) Abraham was Farmer in New Castle, Westchester Co, NY. In his later years he moved to Sing Sing (now known as Ossing) N.Y. So far I have found 107 descendants, which is pretty good considering only 5 of his children married and had families of their own.
Abraham Cornell (James, William, Joshua, Joshua, John, Thomas Cornell) was born 01 Mar 1784, and died 31 Jul 1862 in New Castle, Westchester Co, NY. He married Mary "Polly" Brady 1808 in New Castle, Westchester Co, NY, daughter of Reuben Brady and Elizabeth Kniffen. She was born 1784, and died 06 Feb 1874. Abraham's Father was James Cornell & his mother may have been Elizabeth Chadeayne.
Children of Abraham Cornell and Mary Brady are:
i. Sarah Ann Cornell, born 16 Oct 1806; died 21 Sep 1818.
ii. Sally Ann Cornell, born 1808; died young.
iii. John Cornell, born Abt. 1809; died 1832.
iv. Jacob G. Cornell, born 03 Feb 1811 in Westchester Co, NY; died 28 May 1878 in Westchester Co, NY.
v. James Cornell, born 25 Jan 1813 in New Castle, Westchester Co, NY; died 02 Sep 1879.
vi. Eliza Ann Cornell, born 1815; died Aft. 1860 Unmarried.
vii. Deborah Cornell, born 1819; died Aft. 1860 Unmarried.
viii. Sarah Cornell, born 15 Feb 1821 in New Castle, Westchester Co, NY; died Abt. 1884.
ix. Oliver C. Cornell, born 1827; died 09 Dec 1913.
Does anyone know if Abraham's mother really was Elizabeth Chadeayne? Mary's mother Elizabeth seems to be another mystery - where was she from? Who did Jacob G marry? What was Jacob's middle name? Where are Deborah and Eliza buried? Did Sarah have a family of her own? If you know anymore about these folks, drop me an email at MizRebecky@gmail.com. I'd be happy to hear from you.
